I am not trying to be disrespectful to anyone, but I do beleive the Type XXi should be a part of our fleet. My arguement come along the lines of this:

1. The XXi inspired the USN's GUPPY program.
2. The USN's Tang and Darter classes were also based on studies around the Type XXi
3. Several Eurpeon designs were based off the Type XXi
4. You can find many design influences on the nuclear boats of the Nautilus, Seawolf, Skate and even November classes.

5. The most important aspect of the arguement....it was one of the most advanced and petentually useful "super weapons" of Nazi Germany.

IMO it would be sad if we didn't give this boat a chance to live on our "World" of this sim.
